If you weren’t fortunate enough to have your Living Christmas Tree picked up by friendly little elves this year, but you happen to live in Los Angeles county, here’s a tip from ol’ St. Nick, on how to discard your tree…
If your tree is small enough for the green bins:
1. REMOVE all ornaments, decorations, tinsels, and stand from the tree
2. CUT tree in pieces to fit into the green bin
3. PLACE the tree pieces inside the green bin for regular pick-up on collection day, where it will then be recycled into compost and mulch
If your Christmas tree is too big to cut and place inside the green bins:
1. REMOVE all ornaments, decorations, tinsels, and stand from the tree
2. PLACE the tree next to your green waste bin on collection day, for the city’s curbside recycling program
* don’t procrastinate – the program only goes until January 16th, at which point you might have to make alternative arrangements, and nobody likes a sappy backseat.
Happy New Year!
